 This article is about a Rider Machine in Kamen Rider, the original series.

Cyclone (サイクロン号, Saikuron-gō) is a motorcycle given to Ichimonji by Tobee Tachibana. The model that Rider 2 receives was actually a new modified bike based on the original Cyclone that Tachibana meant to give to Hongo, however, unknown to him, he had already left the country, so the improved Cyclone stayed with the new Kamen Rider.
The modified Cyclone usually takes the form of an on-road bike and can be ridden by people other than Ichimonji. When Ichimonji transforms into Kamen Rider, the switch for the bike is also activated and the bike becomes an off-road bike. The bike is able to handle any kind of terrain and can even ride vertically up walls. Cyclone can also use the Cyclone Crusher attack, ramming into enemies at high speed.

Rider 2 appears to ride Cyclone and New Cyclone in Kamen Rider: The Bike Race, a racing game featuring the majority of Kamen Riders and Rider Machines up to Kamen Rider Agito.
Notes[]
An alternate form of Rider 2's Cyclone, resembling Rider 1's.
- In reality, the Cyclone used by Rider 2 was not explicitly stated to be distinct from its predecessor model throughout its appearances in the original show. During its first introduction with Rider 2, the Cyclone model used was shown to have a different shape and design from Hongo's, though Hongo's Cyclone model (albeit with different colored tailpipes) would continue to be seen being used by Rider 2 on a frequent basis, with the bike occasionally switching between the two models in between shots across a singular sequence.
- Various sources over the years have provided conflicting explanations for this occurrence[1], being that either the Cyclone could change between different forms depending on the situation, or that there were two separate Cyclones being used interchangeably by Rider 2, though regardless it has generally been accepted that Hongo had entrusted his Cyclone to Ichimonji before leaving Japan for Europe[2]. The split-cowl version of the bike would later be recognized as a modified model known as the Remodeled Cyclone (改造サイクロン号, Kaizō Saikuron-gō)[3].
